Summary:
"The delicious kitchen staple we so often take for granted is not merely a stick tucked into our refrigerator door. It's a culinary catalyst, an agent of change, a gastronomic rock star. From its accidental invention in a long-ago herder's pouch to its ubiquitous presence in the world's most fabulous cuisines,
butter
is boss. Food writer and chef Elaine Khosrova serves up a story as rich, textured, and culturally relevant as
butter
itself. From the ancient
butter
bogs of Ireland to the sacred
butter
sculptures of Tibet,
Butter
is about so much more than food. Its surprisingly vital role in
history
, politics, economics, nutrition, even spirituality and art. From its humble agrarian origins to its present-day artisanal glory,
butter
has a fascinating story to tell. Includes a collection of carefully developed core
butter
recipes, from beurre manié and croissants to pâte brisée and the perfect buttercream frosting, and practical how-tos for making various types of
butter
at home - no churning necessary"--Provided by publisher.
